I have never jail broke either of my iPhones, because I dont care for the services that it provides. But I would like to figure out what jail breaking the apple tv does. Can anyone explain this one to me in layman terms?
Thanks you guys have been so help explaining this...I know have a much better understand of the douches on this bored.....
@Hook'Em2006, Apple TV has a few restrictions that come to mind:
-Only able to service codecs within iTunes's restrictive list (MOV, MP4). Jailbroken ATVs can use a program called XMBC to play many more, like a VLC for ATV.
-ATV has no Hulu (no current jailbreak solution)
-ATV has no iOS apps (no current jailbreak solution)
-ATV can't do other stuff - Weather, sports tickers, etc. (options available with a jailbreak).
So, if i understand you correctly, you cant do Hulu if you jailbreak?
Yes you can, you just need to add a repo in xbmc and it enables hulu. Check out this link... If you read thru it will explain how to accomplish this...

Am i missing something here? I jailbroke my atv 2, installed Plex, XBMC, and Nito TV. it is the most garbage collected in one place ever. On a 16 mbps wired connection, about 90% of the vids dont play. If they do, it's the crappiest quality, if you're lucky enough for it to be seen at all.
Nitotv is worthless. Not one video from plex plays.
It is actually laughable that anyone considers this a benefit to Apple TV. yea, let's watch a movie of some kid in a theater, barely able to see, coughing, talking and enjoy it!
Must be 12 yr olds who just think it's cool to modify something. I'll restore back to normal. I'd actually rather pay a couple bucks for great quality than click through a bunch of broken links, watch half of the movie, out of sync, find the other half an hour later and watch that in the worst quality possible.
If you are thinking about jailbreaking your atv, TRUST ME, it is a horrible move. There is NO benefit. Yes, you can install 3rd party apps, but that's the problem, they're 3rd party. They are worthless and not working. Just leave it - believe me, you will want back the time you invest.

Now I am in the process of separating my non-porn movies with my massive porn collection.
I have the original big apple tv brand new in the box...all the new jailbreak stuff, will it work on it or should i buy the atv2? is there an advantage to having the original vs the new one? (wondering If i should sell the original and buy the new one or keep this)
Thanks guys

Always an issue on shares TV =)
meaning i used to have to encode all files from avi>mp4 with quality loss to watch ATV2 on my big tv...
So no longer do i have to encode avis> mp4 which took forever and would loose audio and video quality sometimes with audio skips that were annoying..
Fail. Stop using handbrake to transcode AVI and MKV to MP4. That takes hours. Use MP4Tools to pass thru video.
So, if i understand you correctly, you cant do Hulu if you jailbreak?
I have a new atv jailbroen and have hulu.
can u plz let me know how?
is it possible that hulu on the atv is also ip restricted like on the web?
